3.  What movie is this?

 It was the first big budget feature for the director.  It was very loosely based on the novel, but actually is closer to the Randolph Scott film. The movie is set in 1757, three years into the French and Indian War.  Although the action takes place  in upstate New York, it was actually filmed mostly in North Carolina.  The production used 1,000 Native American actors and extras.  It had a 20 acre frontier farm, a Huron village,  and a replica of a British fort built.  The director’s obsessive quest for authenticity was matched by his star who completely immersed himself in his role. Part of his preparation involved a “colonial boot camp” experience in the backwoods.  The director used a respected authority named Mark Baker to vet the film.  Baker is an expert on frontier life, Indians, and weaponry.  The director provided him with a copy of the script and in most cases made changes suggested by Baker.  The movie was a box office success and critically acclaimed.  It was awarded an Oscar for Sound.
